He added that the mini-moon appears to have been orbiting our planet since it was first captured by Earth’s gravity three years ago. Early observations also suggest it is small enough to fit in just about any garage or shed, with an estimated diameter between 2 and 3.5 meters (about 6 – 11 feet).
The photo obviously doesn’t match the actual size of this “mini-moon” but you get the idea.
There was another one a few years ago, by the way. It stayed a few months and then got booted out of orbit.

We cannot forget about Cruithne. It will be around for quite a long time before it says goodbye.

Cruithne is not really a mini-moon, but a minor planet (or asteroid). It orbits the Sun and only appears as if it’s following the Earth. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/3753_Cruithne

On the other hand, Cruithne has one of the coolest names for a heavenly body… 😎 ☘️

I wasn’t saying it was a mini-moon, just that Cruithne will be around for awhile and certainly worthy of study. Thanks for clarifying for anybody unaware of its status. Take care!
